Say it isn’t so! It seems like everyone at Eastport Middle School is dating someone, except Charlie Joe Jackson. Desperate for advice, Charlie goes to the school library and finds the ultimate guide to dating. Suddenly it seems like everyone is approaching Charlie with their own questions about relationships! Despite his newfound reputation as Eastport Middle School’s very own love doctor, Charlie soon finds himself not only too involved in other people’s relationships, but pining for one of his own as well.   

How will Charlie repair the friendships he damaged? Will he ever learn to take his own advice and confess his feelings to his own crush? Can he navigate Planet Girl while staying true to himself?   (Garden State Children's Book Awards, 2018)
